Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad #553, a late model FM H-16-66 or "Baby Train Master." Virtually all of the original Loewy-inspired design features have been omitted from the unit.

Canadian Pacific Railway #8909, a CLC H-24-66 or "Trainmaster."

Train Master was the designation for a series of diesel-electric railway locomotive designs produced by Fairbanks-Morse and its Canadian licensee, the Canadian Locomotive Company. These 6-axle hood unit road switchers were produced as both 1,600 and 2,400 horsepower (1.8 MW) variants, and were the successor to the ultimately unsuccessful Consolidated line of cab units produced by F-M and CLC in the 1950s. In common with other F-M locomotives, the Train Master units employed an opposed piston-design prime mover. Both the H-16-66 and H-24-66 were configured in a C-C wheel arrangement, situated on a pair of double equalized three-axle trucks. The Milwaukee Road, officially the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. ...

Touted by Fairbanks-Morse as "...the most useful locomotive ever built..." upon its introduction in 1953, the 2,400 horsepower (1.8 MW) H-24-66 Train Master was the most powerful single-engine diesel locomotive available, legendary for its pulling power and rapid acceleration. While some railroads saw advantages in the Train Master's greater power, the perception on the part of others that the unit had too much horsepower (coupled with the difficulties inherent in maintaining the opposed-piston engine, inadequacies in the electrical system, and a higher-than-normal consumption of cooling water) contributed to poor marketplace acceptance of the Train Masters. Perhaps it was simply ahead of its time, as no competitor offered a locomotive with equal horsepower until the EMD SD24 arrived on the scene in July, 1958. Both F-M and the CLC ultimately left the locomotive business. 1953 (MCMLIII) is a common year starting on Thursday. ... The EMD SD24 was a 2,400 hp (1,800 kW) C-C diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois between July 1958 and March 1963. ...

FM H-16-66

The H-16-66 was the 1,600 horsepower (1.2 MW) variant, and was known as the "Baby Train Master." Produced from January, 1951 until October, 1958, four different carbody variants were produced (Phases 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b) though only 59 total were manufactured. Those units produced between 1951–1953 (such as C&NW #1609) displayed Raymond Loewy design lines and rode on Baldwin-style Commonwealth trucks, while later versions exhibited a more "boxy" road switcher body style which sat atop trimount trucks. 1951 (MCMLI) was a common year starting on Monday; see its calendar. ... 1958 (MCMLVIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

FM H-24-66

The H-24-66 "Train Master" was the 2,400 horsepower (1.8 MW) variant. Three different carbody variants were produced, and were differentiated as follows: Phase 1a units had their air intake louvers located in a continuous line along the top of the long hood, and a wide separating strip between the radiator fans; Phase 1b modifications were minor, consisting only of a "dip" in the long hood handrails that allowed them to better follow the profile of the side walkways; Phase 2 units boasted fewer air intake louvers, with large gaps separating them (the radiators themselves were divided by only a tiny metal strip).
